Two Omegas, 1861 Speedmaster and a black dial Seamster

Or a Rolex Submariner (41mm)

All new from the AD. The Omegas are pretty much the same price as the Rolex due to discounts.

Problem is I love the two Omega's and will probably love the Rolex when I get to try it on later this month.

What choice would you make?

Sub 100%. The Omegas are nice but in the long run the Sub wins every time.

I own a Sub Date and love it, but might go Omega here. The 2:1 is nice.

Benzsiam · 9 December 2020, 05:37 AM

Which one you love the most, go for that one.

Go for quality not quantity.

Judge · 9 December 2020, 05:39 AM

Don't go down that Rabbit hole like everyone else, avoid the common sub.

bp1000 · 9 December 2020, 05:39 AM

The omegas for me. Two fantastic watches.

p.s. just so you know, the new speedmaster is imminent. You should get >20% on that. Nearly 20% on SM.

Alfredo. · 9 December 2020, 05:40 AM

The Speedmaster is what makes it a tougher choice for me. The Seamaster, although some are incredible, feels like is in a different league than the Sub.

Go with your initial gut feeling

acheronsgrief · 9 December 2020, 05:42 AM

100% the sub. Pick up the Omegas later individually if you still find yourself wanting them, they're much easier to find at a significant discount.

From what I hear this version of the Speedmaster is being discontinued.

Of course, which is why the two Omega's are basically the same price as the one Rolex.

Did someone say common sub? Lol...The Speedmaster is an iconic Omega so always a great choice. The sub is more difficult to come by so get a sub first and an omega in the future...

I’ve been thinking about a Speedmaster. You think 20% off from an AD? I’ve never bought an Omega and no relationship with them generally. Thanks for any input!

Those are nice omegas - I really like the new seamaster.

That being said...get the Rolex. The Omegas are readily available any time (and probably with a discount). The Rolex is, unfortunately, not.

athom · 9 December 2020, 05:49 AM

Despite that I also like a lot Omega, those 2 ref are - imo - very uninteresting...Rolex then

EndlessEight · 9 December 2020, 05:53 AM

Great question. Truly a tough scenario I've also pondered as well.

I went with the Rolex.

RJRJRJ · 9 December 2020, 05:55 AM

Whichever option contains the single watch I want most of those three.

dukie748 · 9 December 2020, 06:00 AM

Sub. Why do Omega bracelets always look cheap?

Speedmaster has so many bracelet choices. (NATO straps? I believe)

is the sub actually on offer to you? if so, take it and get the omegas later.

Jpccarguy · 9 December 2020, 06:04 AM

OP, did you notice that this a Rolex forum? So consider the bias. I have a Speedy racing chrono that is a vertical clutch/column wheel/co-axial movement, incredibly accurate and built for the long haul. It doesn’t minimize my love of Rolex, nice to have a variety. I don’t like the He escape wart on the new Seamasters, though. Even Tudor does a better job with that.

It's on the promise that it will be available before Christmas.

1 Rolex Sub in hand is worth 2 Omegas in the bush

Deep18 · 9 December 2020, 06:06 AM

Sub. But at the end of the day it’s what speaks to you.

brandrea · 9 December 2020, 06:12 AM

I’d take the Speedy and save for the Sub

Submariner. You'll thank us later.

Guybrush · 9 December 2020, 06:40 AM

I’d pick the sub just because I like the simplicity of it next to the (busier) Omegas. BUT one other thought. To my mind, there’s no point in having two black dial/ black bezel watches. (I mean, if you’ve got a massive collection, why not, but otherwise...) So the two Omegas thing is an easy no for me. But one could justify nabbing one of the Omegas (whichever one you like more) and then parlaying the remaining cash into a different Rolex, perhaps—one that offers a different style (non-diver) and/or some color? Perhaps the Seamaster, with its rubber strap, and then one of the new OPs?
